Hogan, Cardinal reign in Seattle

Kevin Hogan picked apart Washington State, throwing for 286 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 5 Stanford won its 12th straight with a 55-17 rout of the Cougars on Saturday night in Seattle.

Hogan connected with Devon Cajuste on touchdowns of 57 and 33 yards in the first half then found Michael Rector on a 45-yard TD during a third-quarter blitz where the Cardinal scored 21 points as part of a stretch where they ran just two offensive plays.

Jordan Richards and Trent Murphy returned interceptions 30 yards for touchdowns 2:04 apart in the third quarter as the Cardinal (4-0, 2-0 Pac-12) quickly turned a 17-3 halftime advantage into a 38-3 lead. Richards stepped in front of a pass that floated toward the sideline, while Murphy jumped and stole a screen pass at the line of scrimmage.

Washington State (3-2, 1-1) was riding its first three-game winning streak since 2006 and was trying to start 4-1 for the first time since 2003, the last time the Cougars went to a bowl game.

No. 2 Oregon 55, Cal 16: Marcus Mariota threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and the Ducks beat the Golden Bears in the rain-drenched Pac-12 opener for both teams.

Bralon Addison returned two punts for touchdowns and Byron Marshall ran for 130 yards and two more scores for the Ducks (4-0, 1-0).

The game was played as a strong storm swept across the Pacific Northwest, cutting power to more than 26,500 customers in Oregon. It was a sloppy mess on the field, with eight fumbles — four for each team — in the first half alone. The Ducks handled the soggy conditions better, building a 41-3 halftime lead.

The driving wind and rain all but shut down the “Bear Raid” offense that new head coach Sonny Dykes has installed at Cal (1-3, 0-1).

No. 16 Washington 31, Arizona 13: Bishop Sankey carried a school-record 40 times for 161 yards and a touchdown and Keith Price threw for two touchdowns to help the Huskies (4-0, 1-0) beat the Wildcats (3-1, 0-1) in Seattle.

Sankey outperformed Arizona's Ka'Deem Carey, the NCAA's leading rusher in 2012. Sankey surpassed the school record of 38 carries set by Corey Dillon in 1996 against Washington State as stormy conditions forced both teams to limit their passing games.

Sankey carried for 101 yards on 23 carries in the first half alone as Washington built a 11-6 lead.

Oregon State 44, Colorado 17: Sean Mannion passed for 414 yards and a school-record six touchdowns and the Beavers (4-1, 2-0) won their fourth consecutive game with a victory over the Buffaloes (2-1, 0-1) in Corvallis, Ore.

Brandin Cooks caught nine passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns and had five carries for 47 yards for Oregon State. Mannion battled gusty wind conditions to complete 27 of 52 passes.

Caleb Smith also caught two touchdowns passes for the Beavers, who never trailed.

Colorado played its first game in three weeks. Flooding postponed the Buffaloes' Sept. 14 game against Fresno State, in addition to a bye week.
